A Note About Censored Films and Spoilers.

Posted in extreme cinema, horror with tags , , , , , on Wednesday, 30 March, 2011 by Ed

It is the view of Transgressive Cinema that films should be viewed in the manner in which the director intended, fully uncut for an adult audience. For this reason all the reviews and articles here relate to the uncut versions in every instance, unless otherwise stated. This is not always easy, and it often means importing discs from abroad – but it is hoped that the readership appreciates the commentary from the uncut source material rather than what is left after the censors have taken their scissors to a movie.

The issue of “Spoilers” is a contentious one. Transgressive Cinema will not become littered with spoiler warnings. Care is always taken to avoid potentially divulging too much information for readers who have yet to view the film being discussed. The policy used is based on a number of factors (which are individually evaluated for each film), such as the age of the movie and the information already available on promotional material and DVD blurbs. The ending or plot twists will never be divulged. Hopefully this common sense approach is proving acceptable, but please do leave comments on this subject if you have a view on it.

It is the intention of Transgressive Cinema to inform and aid the cinematic experience, not to spoil it - so it is important to get the balance right.

It begins.

Welcome to the Transgressive Cinema blog. Here you will find thoughts and musings from all the darkest corners of horror cinema around the world.

The subsequent writings are my opinions and please use the comment option to let yours be known too. The kind of films under discussion here at Transgressive Cinema are often very polarising, but also draw fanatical followings from those who appreciate them, hence interactive debate could be interesting – please indulge.

I will post regularly with reviews and articles on a different film each time. Some you will definitely be familiar with, some perhaps not. If you have any requests for reviews on your favourite horror, macabre or extreme cinema please let me know. Equally, if you think you’ve uncovered a little known gem I’d love to know about it and then review it here.

Please subscribe to this page, the first review will appear very soon and it will be discussing the most notorious movie of recent times -  A Serbian Film.

Thanks for visiting Transgressive Cinema, I hope you enjoy the ride.
